There were no porters, no guards, no Janissaries of any kind, and no etiquette. Without any previous application—without forma lities of any kind, people present themselves, inscribe their names, and are introduced into the antichamber, where who • ever pleases sits down, while he may see his king standing in the next apartment, receiving with an affability which may he truly called paternal whoever is presented to him in his turn according to the list. Sovereigns who are accustomed to enter royal residences only through a forest of bayonets, carbines of halberts, and after having gone through a number of formalities, which are always troublesome, and often ridiculous, cannot believe their own eyes. It may he said, without exaggeration, that it is more easy to enter the abode of the King of the Ne therlands, and to be received there as one might be by a good father, than it is in some countries, not far off, to approach a petty clerk, who will often affect the moat insupportable am wince, and the most ridiculous gravity. The levee yesterday was not over till seven o'clock. We ob served several Catholic Priests, and M. Libry-Bagnano, famous for the sacrifices he has made for France, and the terrible return ha has received for them. • Ilia Majesty will set out early to-morrow morning for the !Iwo. Alurshal Soult, the Duke of Dalmatia, passed through this City yesterday, on his way to Berlin. His Majesty has approved the choice made by the Chapter of Namer of M. de Cavelier, to perform the functions of Vicar- General of the Diocese during the vacancy of the Episcopal See. —( Brunets Papers, April 8.) D II 3BELDORFP, MARCH 30. The infant son of his Royal Highness Prince Frederick of Prussia, who was born in this city, was baptized yesterday.

Ststost, has abruptly left that capital, in consequence of an order of his Government, en joining him to quit his post within two hours after the receipt of this injunction, and to wait at Hamburg!' for furthw orders !dative to his ulti mate destination. This step has been taken by the French Government in compliance with an express application from the Danish Government, .which complained of the insupportable arrogance show n by M. St. Simon on every occasion., Last winter he excited universal ridicule by abruptly removing his daughter out of the circle assent bled on the King's birth-day, and leading her into the ante-chamber, amidst the servants in at tendance, because he found himself offended by her having been placed by the side of a Cowl , tess; and about four weeks ago, when the dime , for of the theatre, M. de Holstein, refused him a box, because it had been already bespoke for the Crown Princess, he wrote him an impertinent letter, in which he haughtily declared that he, a Peer of France, thought himself in no respect inferior to a Crown Princess of Denmark." 'Accounts from St. Petersburgh state that the eminent mercantile house of Livio Brothers, Which suspended its payments on the 9th March, issued a circular on the following day, announc ing that M r .

Wrwpson, APRIL 9.—This morning his MaJEsTY for the first time since his indisposition, attended Divine Service at his private Chapel.—On Friday his Majesty with Lord and Lady Strathaven, and his usual retinue took an airing in the Great Park from two o'clock until five.—Yesterday his Ma jesty again drove to the Castle in his pony phaeton, and made a most minute survey of the general improvements. His Majesty entered the quadrangle on his arrival, and went through the new corridor, round the south and east of this most majestic Palace, communicating with 'the apartments. His Majesty afterwards inspected the exterior of the works, .and seemed highly pleased with the progress made during his absence, from indisposition. His Majesty left the Castle after a visit of nearly an hour, and continued his airing in the Great Park. The King was accompanied by the Lord .Steward, and followed by Lord and Lady Strathaven, and his suite, in two other phee. tons. Mr. Wyatville was not at the Castle to receive his Ma jesty. This afternoon his Majesty is expected to take another airing. Owing to the favourableness of the weather this day the town of Windsor has been pattieularly gay with strangers. The Terrace, which continues open for the promenade of the Public on Sundays, has began to resume its wonted liveliness; and the attraction of the Hand of the Life Guards for the first time this season, which played from three o'clock until five, completed the beauties of this unrivalled stalk. The state apartments have always been sought by strangers, but we have nothing which gives,more general satisfaction to the visitors than the Public Monument to the Memory of the late beloved Princess Carlotte, in St. George's Chapel.

It appears to have bee►► oc casioned by a young servant girl echo slept in the attic having by some means set fire to her clothes with a candle. The fire was communi. cat"' to the bed curtains, and the poor girl not being able in her fright to get the doors open to call for assistance, she was much burnt, and nearly suffocated, before an alarm was given she still continues very ill, and has since been subject to fits, from excessive fright. Several eng►nes were quickly upon the spot, and the fire was soon got under, but not before it had de stroyed the attic and penetrated into the room below. LAW OF TENDER. A very great misunderstanding exists in the public wind . as to the Law of Tender, and which therefore, us a subject of some importance, ap pears worthy of n few remarks. A tender, in order to be legal, if above forty shillings in amount, must be made in the current legal gold coin of the realm, and if of or below that sum, in the current silver or gold coin of the realm. See 56, Geo. 3, c. 68, 8. 12. The Act 8, Henry 6, c. 24, declared, that no alien merchant should refuse payment of his debt in silver, but that Act was repealed a session or two ago, viz., by 3 Geo. 4, c. 41, sec. 1. By the 16 Geo. 111., c. 42, s. 2, a tender in silver to the amount of 251. was rendered legal, but by the 56 Geo. 111. c. 68, that act was so far repealed, and provision was made, " that no tender o f p a y men t o f mo ney made its the silver coin of the realm, of any sum exceeding the sum of 40 shillings, at any' one time,should be reputed a tender in law, or allowed to be a legal tender within the United Kingdom; and further, it was by the same Act, expressly enacted " that the gold coils of the realm should be considered to be the only legal tender for pay ments in the United Kingdom." 'l'lte result therefore is as above stated. With regard to the tender of the notes of the Bank of England, and its operation in dis charging the right of arrest ; a tender of Bank notes never was at any time strictly a legal tender but by the Bank Restriction Act it was rendered necessary on every affidavit, to hold to bail, to negatise any tender in Bank of England notes, its default of .which, the party arrested was en abled to be discharged on filing common bail. The expiration of these Acts, and the retorts to cash payments, has dispensed with this clause, and affidavits to hold to bail are now commonly sworn without it. The 51st G. 111. c. 127, and 521 Geo. 111. 50. make a tender of Bank notes to operate in -the same manner as strictly legal tender in gold coin, by allowing them to be paid its discharge of a distress, or into Court, or under Is rits of execution, or in satisfaction of a judicial decree ; but all these provisions were made concurrent with the reStriClion on cash payments, and of course are therefore now ex pired. A tender therefore in Bank of England owes is now perfectly inoperative, and cannot invest the patty making the tender with any new rights, any mere than it can cast any liability on nny person who refusea,-.to accept such a ten der, however ungracious, or trowever improper such refusal might be. A considerable portion of our preceding columns is occopied with an utncom►non number of military promotions. This great accumulation was occa. sin►ied by the late lamented illness of his MA. JEST V.

The prisoners said they did not commit the robbery, but they would go any where ; they were searched in the pre, Nellee of witness, and tis. was found in one, and 4s. 6d. on the other. Larkin Ely atatvl, that he was called out of bed by the pro.. secutor about half-past eleven on the night of the 11th of March, who said he had been robbed of all he had got, and been ill used : his trot:kw:is all over blood, and he was wounded in several parts of his head.

Yesterday morning, between one and two o'clock, the inhabit. ants of St. Mary Axe were alarmed by the cries of fire, which had suddenly broken out, in the house, No. 21, occupied by respectable widow lady, named Gonne. It was first discovered by the watchman, anti appeared to have commenced on the second floor ; the flames had burst forth through the windows, and the casements projecting with light wood work, they speedily caught fire, anti the - whole neighbourhood was bril liantly illuminated. The watch collected in great LumberS, and knocked loudly at the door, but all the inmates seemed de termined on consigning themstlves to that most terrible of All fates—death by fire. The door, however, was beat in with . a siege hammer, and on entering the passage, the night constable was surprised to meet con t ing down stairs, ready dressed, and a parapliue under his arm, the tnan who occupied the floor where the fire was then raging, a Jew tailor, named Wolfe, who ap. peered to be perfectly careless of the ives of 4 young men who slept in the attics, then exposed to imminent risk. Some of the watchmen rushed up through clouds of smoke, in order to arouse those poor devoted beings, but on gaining the second larding, it was ascertained that the staircase leading to their apartments had fallen in, and considerable apprehensions were entertained for their safety. They were at length aroused by the shontinco f the people in the streets, and they were noon atter attempte?tO effect their retreat tiownwards, but the attempt watt notaneut for the stairs were now wholly consumed, and the flin es were rapidly closing around them.
